I just picked up my first real piece of woodworking equipment, a JET contractor saw and so I’m resigned to using box joints until I can convince the Mrs. I need a router and router table too. I mentioned it the other day and her eyes rolled so far back in her head all I could see was white, LOL. My one car garage that also has to house bikes and other outdoor gear just isn’t big enough for a full blown woodshop. I think I can picture the jig with the piano hinge.

Here is one way but doesn’t cut a flat top. I’ve seen this done before and it works but takes lots of finger strength to hold a 90-100 lb box.
